England cricketer Ben Stokes has married his fiancee Clare Ratcliffe in Somerset.
The couple had their ceremony at the church of St Mary the Virgin in East Brent, near Weston-super-Mare.
Guests included current England Test captain Joe Root, former captain Alastair Cook, fast bowler Stuart Broad, wicket-keeper Jos Buttler and Durham colleague Paul Collingwood.
They sang hymns including Jerusalem during the 40-minute service and cheered loudly at the end of the ceremony as the newlyweds posed for pictures and kissed outside the church.
Stokes is still under investigation after he was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm following an incident outside a nightclub in Bristol on 25 September.
He was suspended pending police investigation and will not be joining the England squad when they fly to Australia for the Ashes series later this month.
